Abstract

What can democracies do to defend themselves against attacks on their very foundations? That should have been the question in a recent debate on an EU ban of Russian channels RT and Sputnik at a gathering in Amsterdam. The debate got stuck on questions of propaganda, misinformation and freedom of information rather than acknowledging that Russia is systematically aiming to undermine journalism itself, as it is doing with other pillars of democracy.
